Usual tentative hopes of being in Europe only to be shown up as ridiculous at some later stage have arisen. Ireland are fourth in the UEFA Fair Play thingy - pdf link - with the top three countries getting an extra UEFA Cup spot (the draw for teams whose countries score more than 8 points is gone).
We had five reds last year - Greg x 3, Shorty in Tallaght and Robbie Creevy against Drogheda - which is pretty much a record as far as I remember, so that won't help. Against that, we played some of the best attacking football I've ever seen us play, which will gain marks.
